Speedy and reassuring communication from Sue all the time. Great location, within walking distance of 2 pubs, safe parking, peaceful but within easy reach of all that the Cotswolds has to offer. ##### Brenda J.

Grrat location for exploring the Cotswolds, a helpful and responsive owner, and the lovely cooing of woodpigeons. Could not have asked for more! ##### Lee L.

We managed to do lots of day trips during our weeks stay. Host was great, communicated with us before during and after our stay, advised us on places to visit and made us feel v welcome, there was even a bottle of wine waiting on arrival which was a lovely touch . We had an issue with an outdoor wasps nest whilst we were there and she dealt with it quickly and efficiently . Cottage was well stocked with everything we needed and more, from cleaning products to herbs, spices etc in cupboards. Would definitely return and would highly recommend to others. Many Thanks Sue ☺️. ##### Kerry N. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sarah W. 4 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location The cottage was very comfortable and equipped with everything you could need. The location is great for exploring the Cotswolds. Unfortunately there was a very annoying ongoing issue with the hot water. We arrived to find a note from a plumber that explained a process we needed to follow in order to get hot water but it didn’t always work and we needed to reset the boiler numerous times. I did complain to the owner as I thought we should have been informed of this in advance. She disagreed with me and didn’t seem to think that it was a problem at all. Not really what you expect for £200+ per night. All in all we enjoyed our stay and would go back…..but not until the hot water problem was resolved! ##### Sarah W.

Die Lage ist günstig, um sowohl Oxford zu besuchen als auch die umliegenden Cotswold-Städtchen zu erkunden und schöne Wanderungen zu unternehmen. Gute Pubs/Restaurants sind zu Fuß zu erreichen. Die Gastgeberin war sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. ##### Pia R.

Het huisje is erg gezellig ingericht, met een ruime woonkeuken en grote eettafel, een gezellige woonkamer met open haard en boven twee ruime slaapkamers en twee badkamers. Enige wat misschien goed is om te weten is dat er enkel toiletten boven zijn! Oh, en neem je eigen koffie mee. Er is wel een koffiemachine, maar geen koffie ;). Al om al, erg fijn! ##### Jun-Yi L.

Strategische locatie om veel te bezoeken: Oxford, Blenheim, Stratford Upon Avon,... Enkel jammer dat de gordijnen vrij doorschijnend waren, de kinderen waren daardoor vroeg wakker... ##### Daan W.
